    The Ford ignition modules are crap(on the fender or firewall). You may also have a bad ballast resistor(between the ignition switch and the positive side of the ignition coil). The ballast resistor is a white ceramic resistor usually bolted to the firewall. Back in the day, I rewired my Granada to use a GM HEI module after replacing 3 Ford modules in about a year and a half.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    I know all about the POS Ford ignition box; I replaced it once on this car when it had around 1,000 miles on the odometer. I thought about replacing it again, but a failed module usually results in a no spark condition,
